Re: [ft-devel] implementing detection of hinting/rasterization errors in fonts

[Hin-Tak Leung]

I found that bit of code inside Compute_Func when I was looking for other 
examples of manipulating
those same variables to simplify my error detection code inside Direct_Move . 
It is another case of
"Oh, you already did it, silently, years ago!".

I imagine many of the remaining errors (still nearly 60 to go!) are simply 
silently
worked around also.

 That was in the initial freetype2 commit!
